Greetings to you from The Moving Path DeathRebirthCeremony
The Season of Death/Rebirth is fast upon us

 

Friends,  

I pray this note finds you cherishing each moment of your one wild and precious life.  And those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are celebrating the thousand shades of Spring Green, daffodils, narcissus, dogwood, gardenias and magnolias.
Eastertide, and The Beltane Fires are fast approaching.  Last Sunday, on the day of the New Moon, we ventured to Pulaki Temple amidst hundreds of Maquque Monkeys and Balinese Hindus, to pray for new beginnings for ourselves and our Japanese friends.  Pulaki Temple was built in honor of a Javanese King who was escorted from Java to Bali in the early 16th century; the Maquqes continue to thrive in the temple, one of the 8 largest temples in Bali.

All of us gathered here deepen our relationships with ourselves, heighten our sensory awareness and shed the city layers through our Moving Meditation Practices

On the Full Moon, we will venture to Ulawatu Temple for an outdoor, ocean/cliffside, Kechak Fire Dance Ceremony.  Balinese life and practices are woven into the cycles of the moon and the rhythms of Nature. EllenWatson
